Actually, I never look in the index for macros. I always go for:
macros/full alphabetic listing of macros
Never occurred to me that you wouldn't start looking there.

It's documented in the help file.

It's not listed in the index under Setheader which is the obvious starting point. I found it eventually using Search. Your explanation is very useful and much more comprehensive than the help file. Thanks.

%SetHeader can be used for all headers, in behaviour there is no difference between %SetHeader and %From or %ReplyTo. However, there is a difference between %SetHeader and %To. %To adds the new address to the To header, while %SetHeader replaces the old To header with the new contents. That behaviour of the %To macro made it necessary to use constructs like %To=""%To="address" in order to empty the To header first before adding the new contents. Due to changes in the macro translation that construct fails every now and then. In those cases %SetHeader is better.
%SetHeader also makes it possible to edit any header, as long as it is listed in Option/Preferences/Message Headers (and you can add your own headers there). So I can create an X-Roelof header (RFC 2822 states that you can use any custom made header as long as its name starts with X- ) and with SetHeader I can fill the contents with whatever you like. Like %SetHeader("X-Roelof","Roelof was here!")

So basically you can forget about all of those one header macros and always use %Setheader.

Use %SetHeader("To","myaddress")
=============
Is %SetHeader documented somewhere? When is it best to use the likes of %FROM, %REPLYTO and when is it best to use %SetHeader?

Use %SetHeader("To","myaddress")

I have a QT that changed the TO header according some criteria. The critical line was something like:
%TO=""%TO="new@addre.ss"

It worked until 3.6x. Now it only clears the TO field and leaves it empty.

Ideas?
